I would use something like that for sure, no more "mom, can we go somewhere?" I can just get the robot and just go anywhere. the article mentions that this actually has previous generations? maybe I should buy one?
@patricus I predict that Glidance is going to be the next major big thing right up there with the screen reader, iPhone and the Braille 'n Speak. It's going to create a major shift in the way in which we travel but I also wonder if some old-school O&M instructors will embrace it.
Beloved Apple blog TUAW was shut down in 2015, sold to private equity, then sold to a company in Hong Kong. It recently relaunched as an AI content farm using the stolen identities and bylines of its former human staff. A nightmare:
TUAW, a site that was shut down 10 years ago, was sold to a private equity firm, then to a company in Hong Kong, and has now stolen its old workers' identities and is running their old work through AI summarizers.
TUAW has now changed its "writers' names" to random other things. "Christina Warren" is now "Mary Brown."
So now it has "just" bastardized the work of these journalists and is polluting the internet, but at least is not stealing their names and poisoning their search results ...... success?
Positon (positon.xyz/) is a geolocation service closely tied to a group of people targeting our team with harassment. We urge people to avoid submitting their sensitive location data to this service. People involved in it have supported doxxing and swatting attacks.
Positon location service Free-of-charge, network-based location service for the open-source software community Get Started No strings attached Every open-source project can consume data from Positon free of charge.
They intend to lock people in to the service by keeping a lot of the data proprietary. They've repeatedly talked about locking people into it and avoiding having alternatives to it. Their priority is having control and ownership of data while sabotaging decentralized approaches.
Sometimes you can tell a lot about a person by the domains they register. For no particular reason, I was looking at the domain footprint of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, and found a phone number connected to her over the years that was used to register mtgforamerica[.]us back in 2021. The domain's registration records are hidden behind privacy services from anonymize.com, but their privacy system assigns a unique email to each private registrant, so you can still do a reverse search on that and find out what other domains are registered by the same account.
Domaintools finds 21683@anonymize.com was used to register 156 domains, including supportkylerittenhouse[.]com and repealjuneteenth.com. Here's the full list if anyone's interested: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

The Audiobook industry is the fastest-growing segment in digital publishing. In 2023, the format generated $2 billion in the United States alone. The industry is in a state of consolidation. Audiobooks.
I"m convinced that any software deployed for medical reasons - implants, tools, analytics, doesn't matter - needs toolchains that generate reproducible builds stored in escrow that are made free and public the moment device support ends.

oookay. So not only do we believe that Harry Potter is magically descended from dragons, but Draco Malfoy is a Gay veela?.
Also story takes a spot for the number of times one can misspell Avada Kedavra. Lots of things misspelled lots of times across the fandom, (like Fidelius ) but it's the great AK in this silly fanfic. [DragonKin ](fanfiction.net/s/5475405/1/Dra…)

En México, una compleja corriente de fondo de racismo, xenofobia y extremismo de extrema derecha continúa dando forma a la sociedad y la política modernas.
Lo peor es que, en el caso del colegio de mi monstruo, la cuota para la AFP es obligatoria. Unos cientos de pesos por cada familia, que hacen millones para seguir financiando a esas lacras.

Perhaps some of you have read my #OpenPrinting News from May where I tell that 2004 was a magic year and so we have a lot 20th anniversaries in FOSS now.
And the 2 keynotes on GUADEC are about 2 of them: Ryan Sipes, CEO of #Thunderbird @thunderbird and Stephanie Taylor, program lead of #GSoC!
In his opening statement at the OSPOs For Good 2024 event, OFE Executive Director Astor Nummelin Carlberg called for ambitious open-source innovation policies to tackle major global challenges.

The linux desktop app is hanging after not even 5 minutes of use. There is no way to kill the process because it somehow blocks entire desktop environment, except for the rebooting of the whole machine. There are also problems with the latest version of the android app. The message writing window/field is not visible from behind the keyboard. It doesn't jump up over it. There are some issues with the adding of the new contacts - "waiting for the peer message" info appears only. CC: @unfa
wenn euer Arbeitgeber euch mit 3000 nutzlosen Mails am Tag zuballert, die über zahllose Mailinglisten von unterschiedlichen Personen geschickt werden, hilft ggf. folgender Trick.
Erzeugt einen #Mailfilter, der Mails, die nicht eure Mailadresse als TO, CC oder BCC enthalten (also die an eine Liste geschickt werden), in einen Ordner für nutzloses ZEUGS verschiebt.
Wenn ihr mehrere Mail-Adressen oder Aliase habt, müsst ihr diese auf gleiche weise dem Filter beibringen und "Alle Bedingungen enthalten" anklicken.
Falls ihr noch andere Filter habt, schiebt den ZEUGS-Filter ganz nach unten, sodass er quasi als letzter Filter verarbeitet wird.
HP is discontinuing its e-series LaserJet printers due to customer complaints, along with the HP+ and the "Instant Ink" toner subscription services tied to the hardware.
Enshittification enrages customers, destroys loyalty: who could POSSIBLY have imagined THAT?!?

So my local library's makerspace offered a free event where they brought in a bunch of old tower computers, printers, game consoles, etc., - laid out a bunch of iFixit toolkits - and let everyone (kids and adults alike) take everything apart!!!
One kid was hesitant because they didn't want to break anything and the library staff were like, none of it works. We're recycling and throwing everything out afterwards! Go hog wild, you won't get in trouble! You're meant to break it and take it apart!
The kid was absolutely enthusiastic and went to town!
I got to be a kid again and go into detail about all the computer parts and what each of the hardware did. It was awesome watching my children and other kids and adults interact, share tools, show off what they found.
I spoke with the organizer afterwards and asked if this was a regular thing and he said that he didn't have enough old equipment to make it regular. I laughed and said all of my friends have CLOSETS FULL OF THIS STUFF and the idea of giving it to a bunch of kids and adults to play with would bring joy and meaning to their life, lol!
I gave him the time to meet up with @fxbghackers and told him to make a community announcement about needing old electronics for donation to take apart and he'd get truck loads.
Just another way community helps each other out. This is post scarcity education.
